“Love liberates. It doesn’t bind.” — Maya Angelou Have you ever been struck by Cupid’s metaphorical arrow? In Greek mythology, Cupid’s counterpart is Eros, the god of passionate desire, attraction, and romantic love. He isn’t known for quiet, steady affection. Eros represents the kind of love that arrives unexpectedly, ignites like wildfire, and convinces us we’ve found theContinue reading “Love Vibes”

Mountain Vibes
I sipped my Peachy Palmer (a mix of black peach tea and lemonade) and wandered the historic streets with absolutely no agenda. Honestly, that’s my favorite way to travel. I wandered into a bookstore and slowly made my way through the aisles until one book caught my attention: The Book of Enoch. I tucked it underContinue reading “Mountain Vibes”
Fresh Perspective Vibes
A Change of Scenery Sometimes the cure for feeling lost is simply to wander somewhere new. Change the scenery. Get on a different wavelength. Walking the historic streets of Montpellier, I found myself slowing down enough to notice everything: the centuries-old architecture, the fountains tucked into quiet squares, the effortless beauty woven into everyday life.Continue reading “Fresh Perspective Vibes”
Back on My Vibes
Did You Miss Me? I know it’s been awhile. For the past few weeks, every time I sat down to write, the words just…weren’t there.

Writer’s block has a funny way of convincing youContinue reading “Back on My Vibes”

The Problem with Black-and-White Thinking For years, I thought being rushed was my ultimate pet peeve. Turns out, I was wrong. It’s black-and-white thinking. The belief that everything falls neatly into one category or another. Good or bad. Right or wrong. Victim or villain. Success or failure. Friend or enemy. The reality is that mostContinue reading “Binary Vibes”

Magic Vibes
Internal validation and external validation are not the same thing, but a lot of us spend years confusing them. External validation is temporary. It’s the dopamine hit when your phone lights up. The compliment. The likes on the post. The “good job” from your boss. The text back from the person you secretly handed wayContinue reading “Magic Vibes”
Piña Colada Vibes
“The coconut milk is off.” Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t seen The White Lotus Season 3, spoilers ahead. Sometimes when something feels off to me, or something goes wrong, I will say this phrase out loud: “The coconut milk is off.” Most of the time, people just tilt their head and stare at me. But occasionally, aContinue reading “Piña Colada Vibes”
LYSM Vibes
Why I Always Say “I Love You” Life has a way of reminding us (sometimes gently, sometimes not) that nothing here is guaranteed. Plans change. People come and go. Timelines we thought were solid dissolve without warning. It’s a wild, unpredictable ride, and for all the ways we try to control it, we’re never promisedContinue reading “LYSM Vibes”
